The Art Newspaper is the leading and most influential publication online and in print about the news and workings of international art world, with its main office in London and a subsidiary in New York.

Its readership is largely in the various professional branches of the art world, such as museums, cultural property lawyers and the art trade (B2B), but it also has a substantial following among art lovers (B2C).

The Art Newspaper is looking for an Editor, who, first and foremost, will be an experienced, rigorous and creative journalist and editor, with an excellent news sense for the field of the visual arts, but who will also have the organisational skills to allow The Art Newspaper to diversify beyond its current products.

Currently, these are daily news online, a monthly print edition and daily print newspapers at the major art fairs internationally. The Editor will be expected to complete the transition to “digital first” that is already underway.

The areas of future diversification will be specialist reports, video and podcasts, in the context of a complete recalibration of the relationship between the monthly edition and the online news.

A knowledge of foreign languages would be an advantage, although not indispensable, but an internationalist outlook is essential.

The job, which is fulltime, is based in the London office, but with frequent contact via skype with, and regular visits to, New York.
